p8. Susan Irvine. Alister Clark Roses. .....Then I’ve put in three unknown ones which we think are Alister Clark roses because they came from that section of the garden which seem to have a great number of his own roses, and I’ve a vague hope that somebody down there might say “I think I know what this is”.
David Ruston: it is not Sunlit is it?
No, it’s not Sunlit. I’ve got Sunlit. It’s more yellow. It’s beautiful. I thought that it could have been Diana Allen, 1939, described as having serrated petals like Carnation but I’m not convinced that it is.
David Ruston – I think it is. I’ve still got Diana Allen.
You think it might be, good. That’s the one everybody loves, it flowers and flowers, a tiny rose and quite a vigorous little bush but only grows to half a metre.

p53 W. G. Randell, Some Alister Clark Roses in a Perth Garden. Diana Allen may well be called dainty, so alluring is her formation. The colour reminds me of Picture. The bud on forming is that of a salmon colour, but this gradually lightens to a rose pink. In the early stages the colour may be described as a delicate flesh tint, touched with salmon pink. Diana is certainly something different, and to see her is to want her. The rosarian who has grown Rosenelfe will probably see a resemblance in Diana.

p75. T. G. Stewart. Polyantha Roses. There are two Australian-raised varieties which I would also like to refer to – Borderer and Diana Allan. They are every bit as good and a long way better than quite a number of imported varieties. Both are very double and free flowering. Borderer being lower growing than most, which is an added advantage. The colour also is attractive, being pink, shaded copper. Diana Allan grows taller, and the colour is a rosy-salmon pink.
